Jean V de Bueil

Jean V de Bueil (born sometime between 17 August 1405 and 18 August 1406, died 1478),[1] called le Fléau des Anglais "plague of the English", was count of Sancerre, viscount of Carentan, lord of Montrésor, Château-en-Anjou, Saint-Calais, Vaujours, Ussé and Vailly, son of Jean IV de Bueil and Marguerite Dauphine of Auvergne.

He is the author of Le Jouvencel (c. 1466), a semi-autobiographical roman a clef based on his experiences during the latter part of the Hundred Years War.

Jean de Bueil began his military career as a page of the Count of Narbonne and was present at the Battle of Verneuil.

[4] His last known act was to sign, on 31 May 1478 at his château de Vaujours, the document by which he confirmed certain rights of the prior of Charnes, a priory located in the county of Sancerre.

[5] Le Jouvencel joins several medieval military literature traditions: Chivalric romance, treatises on chivalry and manuals on warfare.

A great sweet feeling of love and pity fills your heart on seeing your friend so valiantly exposing his body to execute and accomplish the command of our Creator.
